Reply: (edit)Ok, i have tried registering DLL, I have uninstalled Internet Explorer and reinstalled it, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Cisco application that needs this Dll. I am not using Zone Alarm. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm not having any other problem with my pc. I'm able to surf the net without problems. HaloMatt

Reply: (edit)If you check your internet explorer options, go to the content tab and click certificates. Now check the trusted root certification authorities. If you don't see anything listed there, that is your problem. We recently had that issue at work and it turns out the certs were being deleted by spyware that got in through unpatched machines. When those are missing we were getting validation errors, firewalls that were failing to start up and cisco VPN that wouldn't work. Cisco actually uses zone alarm technology for it's stateful firewall, so that's where that dll comes into play. As far as replacing those certs (if they are actually missing) go to microsoft and do a search for rootsupd.exe. That will populate the trusted roots with the latest ones.
